http://www.blogtalkradio.com/the-dlcThe mission of the Disabilities Leadership Council is to find solutions for individuals with special needs. To fulfill this mission, the Disabilities Leadership Council seeks to create an association for professionals to share contemporary ideas to meet the current and future needs of individuals with disabilities and their families. Through discussion between experts in many different fields, ranging from government to social and educational services to the financial sector, we hope comprehensive solutions will emerge to the problems faced by individuals with special needs and their families in today’s world. Our Philosophy In order to find the most effective solutions to the issues faced by individuals with disabilities and their families, the Disabilities Leadership Council looks to use all approaches and ideas from people of a variety of educational and cultural backgrounds. We look to use both traditional and non-traditional thought processes in developing full-fledged answers, refusing to restrict ourselves to a single set of ideas. The Council also stresses the need for long-term planning for an individual with special needs as opposed to crisis management. This preparation includes financial planning, vocational training, residential arrangements, and provision for long-term healthcare. Most importantly, the Disabilities Leadership Council firmly believes in personal and family responsibility for an individual with special needs. These individuals and their families must plan ahead to meet their needs and acquire self-reliance, and cannot be exclusively dependent on government assistance. enCopyright Stuart Flaum (C/O Blogtalkradio)Sat, 15 Jun 2019 23:30:00 GMTSat, 20 Mar 2010 14:00:00 GMTFamilyBlogTalkRadio Feed v2.0http://www.blogtalkradio.com/img/btrbetalogo.gifhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/feeds@blogtalkradio.comBlogTalkRadio.comfamily,special needs,17a,developmental disabilities,disabilities,disabled,guardianship,mental retardation,service providers,social networkingThe DLCnoThe mission of the Disabilities Leadership Council is to find solutions for individuals with special needs.
